Ready To Break Through That Growth Plateau?
Grow your newsletter faster with people who are actually doing it. An application-only community where serious newsletter creators share what’s working, run cross-promotions together, and hold each other accountable to real growth goals.
You’ve Been Publishing Consistently. You’re Doing All The Right Things. But You’re Not Seeing The Results You Want.
You’re posting on LinkedIn and hoping the right audience takes notice. You’re testing tactics from blog posts that were written 2 years ago. You’re sending emails every week. But you’re watching other creators blow past you and wondering what they know that you don’t.
Here’s what they know: they have a room. A group chat. A handful of other creators they can text and say “I just tested this and it doubled my open rate, here’s exactly how.”
Cross-promotions. Warm intros. Real feedback on a draft before it goes out.
There’s a ceiling you hit when you’re growing in isolation. You can only test so many things on your own. You can only see your own blind spots (which, by definition, you can’t). The creators who break through that ceiling? They have other creators in their corner.
You’ve probably tried the alternatives
- Free Slack groups where nobody responds after week 2
- Twitter/X threads full of recycled advice
- Substack’s built-in community features that feel like shouting into a void
- Courses that end after 6 weeks and leave you on your own
The Solution
Growth In Reverse Pro
A curated, ongoing growth membership where members actively collaborate on cross-promotions, challenges, and real-time strategy. And it stays active because the people in it are serious.
“In just a couple of months, Growth In Reverse Pro helped me find new partners, new clients, and a community that taught me more about personal branding and newsletters than an MBA. The value for money is insane, so join before Chenell gets back to her senses and adds another zero to the price.”
How This Started
The Real Secret Behind The Growth Of The Biggest Newsletter Creators? Their Network.
I’ve reverse-engineered how 80+ of the top newsletter creators grew. Sahil Bloom. Codie Sanchez. Sam Parr. The Hustle. Dozens more.
After all that research, the pattern was obvious: the creators growing fastest all had a network of other creators helping them. Cross-promos, warm intros, shared playbooks.
So I built the room where that happens.
I started Growth In Reverse Pro because I wanted a space where newsletter creators could have the conversations that don’t happen on LinkedIn. The real ones, about what’s working, what’s flopping, and what to try next.
Judging by how many members renew, we’re onto something.

What’s Inside
What You Actually Get
“Community” is a fuzzy word, so let me be specific.
Cross-Promotion & Collaboration Matching
The single most valuable thing inside Growth In Reverse Pro, and the clearest ROI you’ll find at this price point. Members regularly find cross-promo partners here, and a single good swap can add dozens of subscribers in a day.
Expert Guest Workshops
Operators who’ve built audiences of 50k, 100k, 500k+ subscribers walking through their actual playbooks. Stuff you can use right away.
Live Community Calls
Regular Q&A sessions where you can bring your biggest growth question and get answers from me and from members who’ve already figured it out. We also run platform-specific sessions for Substack, LinkedIn growth, and more.
Private Forum on Circle
Facebook is distracting. Slack is noisy. Circle is where members ask questions, share experiments, and get real feedback. Expect answers within hours, from people who’ve actually done the thing you’re trying to do.
30-Day Group Challenges
Each quarter, I pick a focus: LinkedIn growth, collaboration outreach, content experiments. Anyone who wants to can join, compete on the leaderboard, and make real progress with accountability calls and feedback sessions baked in.
Full Recording Library
Every workshop, every call, every guest session, recorded and searchable. Miss a live session? It’ll be there when you’re ready.
“Joining Growth In Reverse Pro has been a total unlock for me. I’m solving problems in days that would have taken me months to figure out solo. The detail, insights, and problem-solving here are unreal. Plus, everyone in the group treats this like a real business, so there’s a whole different level of commitment.”
How the Community Works
Newsletter Growth Happens In 4 Stages
Clarity: Figure Out The Right Next Step
When new members join, we help them find their #1 growth bottleneck. Is it traffic? Conversion? Retention? Monetization? Once you’re clear on the actual problem, everything else gets easier.
How this happens: Introduce yourself in the community. Read the pinned growth resources. Attend a Q&A call or post your situation for feedback.
Experimentation: Test What Actually Works
You don’t need more information. You need to take more action. Inside Growth In Reverse Pro, members share what they’re testing in real time, so you can skip the duds and double down on the things that are moving the needle.
How this happens: Join monthly challenges. Follow along with other members’ experiments. Post your own results and get feedback.
Relationships: Find Your Growth Partners
The single biggest lever for most newsletter creators is finding 3 to 5 other creators at a similar stage who they can cross-promote with, collaborate with, and learn from. Growth In Reverse Pro is built to wire those connections together.
How this happens: Cross-promo matching. Collaboration threads. Live calls where you meet other members face-to-face.
Momentum: Stack Wins And Keep Going
Growth compounds. One cross-promo leads to another. One relationship opens 2 more doors. The community creates a flywheel that’s hard to build on your own.
How this happens: Stay active. Share your wins. Help other members. The more you put in, the more you get back.

Who Runs This
Hey, I’m Chenell! 👋
I’ve spent the last few years studying how the world’s top newsletter creators actually grow.
Growth In Reverse started as a deep dive newsletter where I reverse-engineered the growth strategies of 65+ top creators. I’ve broken down exactly how they got their first 1,000 subscribers, how they scaled to 50k, what growth levers they used at each stage. That research is the foundation of everything inside Growth In Reverse Pro.
I know what it’s like to rely on your email list as a core business channel. And I know how frustrating it is to feel like you’re not growing as fast as people are leaving.
If you’ve hit a growth plateau and want to fast-track your growth and connect with other thoughtful, growth-oriented creators, we’d love to have you inside.
